There are two bowls on a table, one white and one black. In the white bowl there $2019$ balls. Players $A$ and $B$ play a game where they make every other move ($A$ begins). One move consists is $\bullet$ to move one or your balls from one bowl to the other, or $\bullet$ to remove a ball from the white bowl, with the condition that the resulting position (that is, the number of bullets in the two bowls) have not occurred before. The player who has no valid move to make loses. Can any of the players be sure to win? If so, which one?

Lukas Nepomuceno draws 5 congruent circles equally spaced around a 6th, and colors all of them 1 of 3 colors. Assume that rotations and reflections of colorings are indistinguishable. How many distinct colorings are there? [i]2022 CCA Math Bonanza Lightning Round 4.4[/i]

A regular icosahedron is a regular solid of $20$ faces, each in the form of an equilateral triangle, with $12$ vertices, so that each vertex is in $5$ edges. Twelve indistinguishable candies are glued to the vertices of a regular icosahedron (one at each vertex), and four of these twelve candies are special. André and Lucas want to together create a strategy for the following game: • First, André is told which are the four special sweets and he must remove exactly four sweets that are not special from the icosahedron and leave the solid on a table, leaving afterwards without communicating with Lucas. • Later, Sponchi, who wants to prevent Lucas from discovering the special sweets, can pick up the icosahedron from the table and rotate it however he wants. • After Sponchi makes his move, he leaves the room, Lucas enters and he must determine the four special candies out of the eight that remain in the icosahedron. Determine if there is a strategy for which Lucas can always properly discover the four special sweets.
